Oocyte Perfusion Chamber
Expression of recombinant receptors in oocytes have been one of the favorite choices for researchers
to assess the pharmacology and physiology of receptors. Since the oocytes are 1 - 1.5 mm in diameter,
however, the fast solution exchange around the oocyte can be a problem. After several years of electro-
physiological research, we have designed a Xenopus oocyte perfusion chamber for use in automated and
unattended experiments. One of the major characteristic of the chamber presented is a small working
volume (~10 μl), which allows faster solution exchanges. Combined with perfusion systems, this cham-
ber lets you to obtained dose-response data fast and easily. It can be used with Oocyte Voltage Clamp
amplifiers, which employ one or two electrodes bath clamp. Fits perfusion manifolds. The suction tubing
requires connection to a vacuum source. If you do not have in house vacuum, we recommend an outflow
unit for suction to remove solution during perfusion. Improved design makes using the chamber easier: the
replaceable chamber is fixed inside a microscope stage adapter using flat springs. Improved profile of the
suction tubing provides smooth solution flow. Comes with Allen wrench.
